Humming bee Breathing

In this exercise, I push air through my nose while humming, producing sounds like a bee or a drone. The exercise induces Nitric-Oxide generation and improves my ability to relax.

When my tongue touches the roof of my mouth, the sound generated is similar to pronouncing the letter ‘N.’ However, when my tongue rests on the floor of my mouth, it sounds like the letter ‘M.’ I hum in a low pitch and try to keep the frequency at around 120Hz, which has been found to be optimal for promoting nasal Nitric Oxide. On my smartphone, I have an app with a frequency-based sound generator. It helped me at the start to find the right frequency to hum.

The sound reverberates in the center of my head. Then, I gradually reduce the sound intensity as I complete exhalation, creating an effect similar to a fading siren.

Blocked blood vessels are released as I unplug my ears, allowing blood to flow in again. After unplugging, I often get a cool sensation in my ears.

The breath-hold allows indication. If I exhale slowly enough, after the breath-hold, I reach ‘air-hunger’ rapidly.
